MANILA, Philippines, 2 March 2017 - Ford Philippines was the recipient of two prestigious awards for its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs at the first-ever ‘Driven to Serve’ Awards of the Society of Philippine Motoring Journalists (SPMJ) – one each for its Driving Skills for Life driver safety program and its Operation Better World initiatives.

The Driven to Serve Awards were launched this year to recognize the best CSR initiatives in the local automotive industry, with categories including environment, community development, road safety and education, and training.

Ford received the top award in the Road Safety category, Platinum, for its Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) program. Ford launched the global DSFL program locally in 2008, which was customized for the Philippines market and helps to raise awareness on safe driving techniques, road safety, techniques to improve fuel economy, and other road safety issues. Since its local launch, more than 18,000 licensed drivers of private and public utility vehicles have participated in DSFL sessions, all free-of-charge.

Ford Philippines’ Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) and Operation Better World programs received recognition at the Driven to Serve Awards of the Society of Philippine Motoring Journalists held at the Marriott Hotel. Accepting the Platinum award for DSFL from Rodrigo Franco, president and CEO of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation and member of the Awards’ judging committee from Ford Philippines are Lance Mosley, managing director, and Josie Gonzalez, AVP for Government and Corporate Affairs.
